Edward is an emu who thinks the grass is greener in the other enclosures at the zoo. Surely it would be better to be a seal, or a lion, or a snake? After trying to be something he isn't Edward eventually returns to his own pen and discovers a great surprise. This book is a wonderful story about self-knowledge and self-acceptance. It uses rhyme to great advantage but it is the illustrations that take the breath away. An Australian picture book classic. For all readers irregardless of age. Highly recommended.
